Wedding Gift From Me To Husband 2 B :-)

I am getting a boudoir shoot done secretly, and having the photos put in a little album for him! Then he can always look at them to remind himself what I looked like when we got married... before we have kids and grow old

I have ordered this from Debbie Graham HIB. I love it!!! I am putting a photo of the church instead of a map.

@ Shani - I so want one of those! I am secretly hoping OH will read my mind and purchase one as a wedding present for me. (I have shown him the website to help him on his way but unless I wrote GET ME THIS it's unlikely he will!).

I will be purchasing a watch which I will be getting engraved with a soppy message on it. Something like "There isn't a second I don't love you" ?.

I've also made him a little pack of gifts, which I really should pull together soon - a "name a star" certificate, some groom socks, my own version of the beautiful grooms journal (which I must get on and finish!), a box of his fave cerials and fave Whiskey, plus a "Don't for Grooms" book. I am sure there will be more.

He he Kayl! I am the same, must be the military husbands, useless at mind reading!!

I got it so we can put it somewhere in our quarter and can always look at it.

Should be delivered this week, so excited!! x

That's exactly what I said to him - it will be lovely to see it hanging in our Kitchen as we return from honeymoon into our first place together. Sadly his response was something like "You can do whatever you want deae" - Thanks!

I got my hubby these and he loved them and thought it was a fab idea! and he wears cufflinks all the time for work

1st one - where we got married

2nd one - honeymoon

Ashlil - I love those! Where are they from? We got engaged abroad and we're getting married abroad, so these would be perfect!

FutureMrsJ this is exactly what I was thinking about but am so scared! What company have you booked through if you don't mind me asking?

Boudoir by Cameo. It's in London. I booked it through a Groupon deal so it was much cheaper than normal though A lot of ladies use FYEO and apparently they are very good, if a little pricey. I believe some wedding togs also offer a boudoir photography service.

I am getting mine a watch, seeing as he has been hinting, very unsubtly for nearly 2 years thats what he'd like I'd better do it! lol.

Kayl, i totally love your ideas though, I am having the date in roman numerals engraved, but i may pinch some of your ideas like your engraving, and put it as a message inside the box. Your goodie bag for him is also a really good idea, it has got me thinking! A bottle of bud and some crunchy nut cornflakes would go down an absolute treat for him!

Thanks for the mention Shani, I am just on my way to post office with your parcel!!! The box is quite big & packed with LOTS of packing peanuts, so hope you have fun opening it.

I've done an FYEO boudoir shoot (yes, even at my advanced age) and have also got H2B a personalised Monopoly set - made by the actual monopoly people, but the streets are all replaced with places that mean something to us. My house is on Mayfair and the stations are where we got engaged, our church, reception and honeymoon venues!

@ Arnold.... OH will be getting stuff I wouldn't usually buy as it's too expensive. His cerials are about £8 and his Whiskey about £45 for a small bottle (the man has expensive taste!!):

and

Going to make a fab breakfast combo I feel. ?

Oh my h2b would LOVE this monopoly set, can I ask where you got it from please?

Thanks x

How funny im just in middle of sorting hubby to be's out! Im making a mini hamper of goodies as dont have mega loads of money to spare. So far iv got a black tshirt saying 'under new management' to wear the next day, love it! A diy beautiful groom journal, groom socks, and putting in mints, tissues, beer, snacks, card. Can you think of anything else? xxx

@ Shelly - I also have the T-shirt (mine has a ball and chain as well as "under new management" ?)

I don't know your OH but will be get nervous? Mine will - i'll be popping in some Rescue Remedy and some Tummy Settlers too.

I also have a handwritten letter to be given to him while he waits for me at the altar.

I am having a Boudior photo shoot done next weekend for my H2B.. he wouldn't wear a watch as his job is very hands on.. I looked at FYEO but they were so expensive I actually decided to go with a photographer I found on here!!!?

When he gets handed this and starts reading it while waiting on you, wouldn't it be funny if he said "oh, she's not coming" ?

Possibly not, I may just have a strange sense of humour ?

Amnesia Custard, have found the monopoly website, but there are no prices- do mind saying how much it cost?

Well, I am laughing now. But don't think OH would on the day. ?. He is going to be so nervous bles him - I couldn't be that mean.

I meant if your OH read the lovely letter, but then turned to, for instance, his best man and said "she's not coming"...just for a split second...

I may add that instrcution as a "ps" to the letter. It would all be caught on video too! ?

That would be hilarious ?

Poor Best Man.

Just hope my Mom doesn't hear him say it else it could get interesting ?

I got it from www.firebox.co.uk and it was £80. (slight gulp as it is only Monopoly, but it is completely original to us)

I think that is a fair price. It is a lovely momento as your life as a couple.

I am thinking I may get one as an anniversary present though, rather than for him on the day... not sure though... do love the idea.

I have ordered a book from vista print to do a beautiful groom journal, i thought about splashing out and buying one but i didn't like all of the questions in it so I'm going to attempt to make my own!!

And I have just read the above and ordered the t-shirt with the ball and chain and added 'under new management' to it....hope you dont mind girls??

I was going to write 'Property of mrs xxxxx' but just didn't look right!

Sure I will want to get him more so will keep an eye on this thread.

Hiya

i was just wondering abouts you can get this photo shoots from?

I love the monopoly idea as an anniversary present for the first year (It is paper).

The TOG I've got for the day does Boudoir as well. I'm just wondering if I can get up enough bottle to do it!
